As always I’m still looking for stories with magic or a speculative twist on our world, but I really want the stories I’m looking at to feel like falling in love for the first time- even if the characters aren’t.

Also, on the hunt for stories by underrepresented voices in fiction, again either contemporary or historical.

interested in all kinds of non-fiction and fiction. In adult non-fiction, he would love to see more Narrative Nonfiction, Popular Science and Pop Culture. Some of his favorite books in this space include A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING, THE JAZZ MEN, PLAYING THROUGH THE WHISTLE, THE GIRL IN THE VELVET SWING, and THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS.

In the adult fiction market, he is very interested in Suspense, Thrillers, and Mysteries. Some of the books he loves are CABARET MACABRE (A SPECTOR LOCKED-ROOM MYSTERY), The REACHER novels, especially TRIPWIRE and PURSUADER, any novel in the MAARTEN S. SNEIJDER series, ALL THE SINNERS BLEED, and THE GUEST LIST. He would also love to see more Romance. Some of the books he enjoys are all books in THE MAXTON HALL book series, and ONE DAY.

In contemporary YA fiction, he is primarily looking for everything Romance, Rom Com, Boarding School settings, Thriller, Friendship stories, OR a combination of those, plus a dash of horror. His favorite books include TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE, THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF FALLING IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, EVERYTHING WE NEVER SAID, ACE OF SPADES, and TRULY DEVIOUS.  In YA fantasy, he likes books such as SCYTHE, THE GIRL WHO FELL BENEATH THE SEA, and THESE DEADLY PROPHESIES. He is also looking for YA Graphic Novels. THE FOX MAIDENS, THE MAGIC FISH, and PUMPKINHEADS are amongst his favorite reads.

As an immigrant to the USA himself, he is always eager to bring projects from underrepresented voices into the world. So surprise him, his tastes are eclectic, and he may just love what you wrote!
